Recorded at a time when Mary Lou Williams was performing regularly at Café
Society downtown and sitting in at Mintons uptown, these two dozen tracks
represent the heart of her 1944 artistic output as documented by Moses Asch on
the record label bearing his own name. The opening piano solos are exceptionally
fine and the Chosen Five sides are exquisitely rendered using a front line of
trumpeter Frankie Newton, trombonist Vic Dickenson, and clarinetist Edmond Hall.
With Al Lucas and Jack Parker working alongside her, Mary Lou Williams presided
over this little band in the creation of a beautiful ballad, two boogies, and
Satchel Mouth Baby, a novelty bounce with group vocal. One additional track from
this session, involving only the rhythm section, was issued under the same
heading as the Chosen Five. Three more piano solos -- a boogie, a slow drag, and
a delicious treatment of St. Louis Blues -- were recorded in April of this
fruitful year. A few weeks later, Williams accompanied vocalist Nora Lee King as
she sang a domestic blues embellished with scat syllables. Four tracks recorded
on June 5, 1944, were released by Mary Lou Williams & Her Orchestra. This was a
slightly expanded, reconstituted septet now featuring tenor saxophonist Don Byas
and trumpeter Dick Vance. The mood established by the Williams/Byas composition
Man o Mine exquisitely conveys the sense of a wartime society in transition so
peculiar to the mid-40s. This ethereal tide also flows into an oddly bifurcated
version of Stardust, its halves weirdly separated here by an upbeat swing stomp
called Gjon Mili Jam Session. The only rationale for reissuing the tracks in
this order -- with Pt. 2 placed first and Gjon Mili interrupting the mood before
Pt. 1 -- is that the effect is something like a film soundtrack laid over
contrasting scenes, with maybe a reprise of the earlier theme bringing the plot
full circle. In any case, the music is excellent. Williams waxed six sides with
bassist Al Hall and trumpeter Bill Coleman in August of 1944, beginning with
solid renditions of two of Irving Berlins most enduring melodies, Russian
Lullaby and Blue Skies. Both Persian Rug and Night and Day are delightful and
Coleman sings You Know Baby, a plea in a minor key for a kiss and a hug. This
wonderful trio session wraps up most inventively with an experimental version of
I Found a New Baby. And the disc itself closes with two comparatively brassy
V-Discs (with a much different sound quality than those rusty old Asch sides!)
featuring trumpeter Charlie Shavers, trombonist Trummy Young, guitarist Remo
Palmieri, bassist Hall, and shuffle/bop drummer Gordon Specs Powell. It is an
exhilarating finish for this outstanding album of vintage jazz recordings by our
lady of the fine piano and solid arrangements, Mary Lou Williams.
